The Forgotten Joint Score-12 in Anterior Cruciate Ligament injuries.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12) is a scoring system initially created to assess post arthroplasty outcomes. It has since been used to evaluate Anterior Cruciate Ligament surgery outcomes. Our study aims to evaluate the applicability and validity of the FJS-12 in post Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstructed patients, and to assess correlation with established Patient Reported Outcome Measure Scores in the same population.
designCase series, level 3 evidence.
methodsWe conducted a cross sectional study across patients who had undergone Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction and carried out the FJS-12 questionnaire by phone interview. Patients who had undergone primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction were considered for the study.
resultsThe average Forgotten Joint Score-12 for all 82 patients was 71.4 (±22.9), which corresponded to a normal distribution. The average Lysholm and Tegner score at the 2-year post-operative visit was 93.5 ± 9.5 and 5.8 ± 1.8 respectively and the distribution was non-normal. We noticed a large ceiling effect of 42.7% in the Lysholm scores, but only 8.4% in FJS-12. There was a weak correlation with Lysholm and a positive correlation with Tegner.
conclusionsForgotten Joint Score-12 seems to be a promising patient reported outcome measure that can be used in evaluating post Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction outcomes. It is more discerning than traditional scores and is easy to administer thus it can used in the clinical follow-up of patients. With the scores being normally distributed, it makes for a meaningful PROMS and would allow more accurate application of parametric statistical tests.
